About our remedial sealant in Rawreth
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re often asked to deal with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and a second bead peeling off the first, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints.
Somewhere as small as Rawreth, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Never seal over old silicone
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.

What we are called out for in Rawreth
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Before booking anyone

- Whether you can choose the colour
Leave it or put it right?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rawreth, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Rawreth, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Remedial sealant in Rawreth: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Our Lady of Ransom Catholic Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Rented homes near Battlesbridge station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
